Need help connecting via a remote VPN

[The Coca Cola Kid]

I need to connect to a site/server that's only accessible after logging into 
a remote VPN, then scan a directory for a file pattern and then copy those 
files.  I know how to do the latter using glob, and I think I figured out 
how to connect to the VPN using win32ras and got a response that said "302 
Found" but I'm not sure what to do after that.  Some people recommended 
using SSH or fabric.api modules, but I couldn't find any examples that 
applied to what I'm trying to do.
